Records Speak For Themselves

2006 Subaru Sti Front View

Rockstar Crawford's STI Is A TunerRockstarThe vehicle's interior is Spartan and all business, devoid of flashy show car accessories, save a roll cage, Sparco front seats, steering wheel and pedals and Defi gauges. Apparently, Crawford saved their cash instead for the flawless and functional APR wide body kit and rear wing. Crawford Performance canards and a Crystal Grey paint job complete the exterior.

The Crawford Subaru is more than a mere collection of performance enhancements bolted to a car-the enhancements are part of a more complete upgrade program that really elevates the car's performance beyond the measurement of numbers. "it's the fastest Subaru and probably the fastest car i have ever driven," said Ken Block, DC Shoes co-founder. The driving enjoyment is phenomenal with usable mid-range power in generous supply, matched to a taut chassis ready and willing to put it all to the ground. Crawford's STi is a tuner rockstar; so memorable, it defines the company and stands out at the track like Teanna Kai at a pillow fight.
